Art-pop musician Deradoorian has joined the growing artist boycott against Spotify following CEO Daniel Ek's $700 million investment in military AI company Helsing. The artist announced through Instagram that she removed all albums under her control from the streaming platform. Deradoorian's latest release Ready For Heaven arrived this year before her participation in the protest movement.

Several prominent artists have withdrawn their catalogs from Spotify due to the controversy. These musicians range from Xiu Xiu and Deerhoof to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Major label artist Massive Attack represents the most significant departure from the service during this campaign.

Listeners may still access Deradoorian's work through alternative digital streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Helsing responded to the boycott by clarifying that their technology operates only in Ukraine for defense against Russian forces. The company disputed claims about deployment in other conflict zones through an official website statement.
